Something I knocked out today, TOR-era Tusken Sith Lord Darth Syrtis.  He began as a Red Faction Marauder Officer.  "Syrtis" means "quicksand" in Latin.  I'd like to give him a "sandcloud" blast effect, if I can figure out how to do that.

An oddity among his people due to his Force abilities, the Tusken Raider known as Darth Syrtis was taken by the Sith Army at an early age.  Apprenticed to the Nautolian Sith Lord Darth Necrosis, Syrtis is only the third apprentice of Necrosis to reach Masterhood.  The two are friends, in the way Sith can be...they would destroy each other if necessary, but it would be face-to-face instead of with a dagger in the back as most Sith operate.  Darth Syrtis wears an elaborate version of the traditional Tusken breath mask at all times, along with Tusken sand wraps.  He weilds a double-bladed lightsaber that holsters on his left shoulder.

OMG!  Great Work!  You also, beat me to it.  I just got this guy almost a month ago.  Him and others from that line will make some great TOR-style figures.

Sick custom and backstory. I picked up one of those figures as well, it really does have a tusken vibe. Cheers.

Thanks, guys. I LOVE this mold. I'd really like to have more, but this was the only one I've ever come across. And on clearance to boot.

Yeah, I got mine on clearance, too.  I got three others.  I think there are five or six total.  Oh well.

Super cool Michael! I too have this figure and have been wondering what to do with it. I love what you have done and the story line.
